Answer:

Adding or removing a proton from an atom's nucleus changes that atom's atomic number and creates a different element. Chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 are both isotopes of the element chlorine. The number after the name 'chlorine' is called the mass number.

The mass number is a tally of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Since all atoms of chlorine contain 17 protons, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 differ in the number of neutrons each one has. An atom of chlorine-35 contains 18 neutrons (17 protons + 18 neutrons = 35 particles in the nucleus) while an atom of chlorine-37 contains 20 neutrons (17 protons + 20 neutrons = 37 particles in the nucleus).

For a nucleus to be stable, the number of neutrons should (for the first few elements) equal or slightly exceed the number of protons. The more protons, the greater the ratio of neutrons to protons to ensure stability. Nuclei that have too many of either kind of fundamental particle are unstable, and break down radioactively in different ways
